hopped onto my blog, you can start here as this is a circular hop, but
if you want to follow us across Canada then please start at the
beginning and join My Creatiosn with Michelle. If you
came from Lyn's blog, C1 Make 1 then you're in the right place.I have a wedding coming up so I made this card with a bit of a Pop Up Fancy Fold for the message to the bride & groom. The paper pack I used is retired, For Always which I made sure to stock up on for occasions such as this. Isn't it perfect?!

Here's a shot a little closer up so you can see the detail of the ink sponging and pearls.

The photo below shows the fancy fold popping up and the mini Velcro closures I used to keep it secured.

The stamp set I used is D1536 The Happy Couple, stamped in Lagoon and complimented with coordinating Lagoon cardstock. The Silver & Teal Shimmer Trim adds a bit of pizzazz.

The inside sentiment is also from The Happy Couple, D1539 stamp set. I like to add patterned paper on the inside to pull it all together.

I hope you're inspired to create one of your own. Here is a YouTube link to see how I made this.
